Luxa and Gregor returned back into the castle. After seeing the rest of the guest out they ended up in the Nursery. "I have many fond memories in here" Luxa says, " I hope one day this nursery will be used again".

"I have a feeling it will if you wish it to be" Gregor told her. She looked curiously at him and smiled. They both sat on the floor of the nursery with their backs agaist the wall. Luxa out her head on Gregor's shoulder and held his hand. "Luxa, I have to ask you something" Gregor says.

"Yes Gregor" she said. She was more attentive now. She sat up straight and watched Gregor as he moved forward onto one knee. "Do Underlanders do this" he thought.

"I really love you and can't stand being apart from you in Overland" he said. He see Luxa nod slightly in the dim light. He sees her eyes grow wide as he pulls out the ring. She gasps. "I want to be with you forever. Will you marry me?"

A tear forms on her face as she smiles. "Yes, of course Gregor, I will" she replied. "I love you" she says as Gregor puts the ring on her finger and kisses her. They lay back down in each other's arms.

"Does this mean you are coming to live down here now?" she asks him hopefully.

"Someday. My parents do not know that I was going to ask you. My mom will still want me to finish school and even then she won't be happy about us getting married" he told her.

"I see. Would you let them stop you? Stop us from being together?" she asks.

"I will make her happy and finish school. It's only one more year, but I will not let her stop me, stop us" he told her.

"What if she stops you from visiting? If she thinks keeping us apart will … will stop you, make you forget" She says.

"Luxa, I will never, ever forget. I promise. Also, I think that we should not tell her until I finish school" he says.

"Yes, that might be a good idea. Then she will still let you come down and visit. We will keep this a secret" she tells him. She snuggles closer to Gregor and closes her eyes. Gregor stares at the ceiling and listens to her heart beat. Slowly he closes his eyes too.

It's morning when his eyes open. Luxa is still asleep but Hazard is standing above them eyeing the ring. Hazard raises his eye brow as Gregor shruged his shoulders.

"Shhhh. I won't tell" Hazard says as he leaves the room.

"That was close" Gregor thought "This is going to be harder then it seemed". He just felt so happy that he wanted to tell everyone. To run down the hall screaming. To tell the world. But he couldn't. He knew he couldn't.

He looked down and saw Luxa waking up. Her eyes were barely open but she had a smile on her face. "Good morning" she said.

"Yes it is" he replied as she sat up. They sat against the wall and Luxa put her head on Gregor's shoulder again. For awhile they just sat holding each other's hands.

"Your going to be King, you know" Luxa told him.

"I don't care. I just want to be with you" he told her as he squeezed her hand.

"Your going to be a great King. I know it" she replied.

"Because I will have a great Queen" he said as he kissed her. It was like the first time he kissed her all over again. He felt warm and happy
